That's great thanks mate.

 

Don't think they are forsale any more.

 

Will try and find one that fits.

 

Thanks again.

I only thing I can find is this but don't think it will fit.

He says he is a VW specialist,email him and ask if he has any for a Corrado ?

Is yours amplified at the aerial ? Or IIRC the later models were amplified at the radio !

Need to check. It's a 96 VR6 so think I would be.

I'll email him now.

Thanks

He's just replied saying

 

"No sorry not broken one in years I'm afraid"

 

Back to looking again

Do a google serach for 'Blaupunkt gti flex'

 

Here's one, with base + mast:

I bought one years ago, although mine came with cabling.

I picked up a Golf/Passat/New Beetle one at a car show for use after my respray, it's one base that includes radio, carphone and GPS antennas if you feel like upgrading your headunit in future. AKA a triplex antenna. Part number is 1J0 035 507:

 

I'm going to use the stubby antenna off a Sharan with it (7M0 035 849 E):

 

Beware that the triplex base has an M6 antenna thread instead of the M5 one on the stock antenna so you'll need a newer element to make it fit. I have a spare stock length antenna if you want it, I'm using this shorter one I found on a Mk3 Polo in a scrapyard. Looks a bit neater!
